Schedule time to be together every day. Plan with your spouse. Give each other what you need.

Informing your loved ones of the nature of your baby’s birth defect will help others know what to expect and how to safely interact with your child. Talking about your feelings and emotions with regards to your baby’s birth defect may help you cope by relieving stress and sharing your struggles with people who care about you and are willing to support you. There are many national and local groups that offer support for families with a child living with a birth defect. Search online for group meetings or outings with other parents and families. Some families find engagement and activism tremendously helpful in coping with a birth defect. Volunteering at birth defect awareness groups and working to prevent birth defects in other children may provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment once the initial adjustment has taken place. In some cases, you may wish to seek the help of a professional in dealing with the news of a birth defect. Realize that it is natural to feel overwhelmed and stressed when learning to cope with birth defects.  Do not be afraid or ashamed to seek assistance, as receiving formal help may make the difference between an unhappy initial experience and a successful transition to life with your new baby. Health care counselors may be able to give specific, useful advice for caring for children with particular birth defects. They will also be informed of the most recent treatments, interventions, and research and will be able to link you and your child with the best options for care and support. Psychological counselors can help you work through feelings of anxiety, fear, inadequacy, apprehension, and sadness. If you feel overwhelmed and depressed for more than a few weeks, consider seeking the assistance of a professional for talk therapy or emotional support.

TL;DR in English: Discuss the birth defect with family and friends. Search for a local support group. Seek professional counseling or advice.

When you see your crush, grab his gaze and hold it. Smile at him. Hold that look for a few seconds and then look away. Repeat it again and if he’s interested he’ll mirror your cues.   Use the flick technique: Meet his eyes, let your gaze fall to his mouth, and then lift them so that your eyes meet his again. Pair that with a coy grin.  When you know he’s watching you, play with your hair a little. This lets him know that you notice him noticing you. Fake it till you make it. The more you allow yourself to relax into the situation and feel comfortable with it, the more confident you will seem. Confidence is an aphrodisiac for men so use it generously.  Don’t fidget with or hide your hands as its often a sign of nervousness. Place them on your hips or leave them out in the open to promote better posture and signal to him that you are open. Keep your chin up and eyes level at all times, even as you walk to project confidence. Take care of your appearance. Groom with products that leave you smelling good and feeling good: like conditioners, lotions, fragrances, etc. Pay attention to the details. He’ll remember you from your back and forth looks. Comment offhandedly about something in class or make a joke. This takes the pressure off an initial one-on-one encounter and can feel a lot more organic than the individual approach attempt. If you’re feeling brave, approach him directly. If not, make approaching him more comfortable by setting the scene. The setup will provide the icebreaker you need to get the conversation going.   Bump into him and apologize frantically. Place your hand in your hair and laugh at yourself for running into him. Drop something, like a book or a pen, as you walk past him. He will either run after you to return it to you or you can retrieve it yourself and explain that you are clumsy.

TL;DR in English: Send cues of interest. Be confident. Approach him with his group of friends. Create an opportunity.

Part of prioritizing your marriage and working on intimacy is spending time together. Your marriage can’t be a priority if you don’t make time for it. Take a look at your daily schedule. Find a block of time each day where you can be with your spouse.  You may have to cancel something, rearrange certain responsibilities, or make certain things easier and quicker to make time for your spouse. For example, you may choose to make a quick, easy dinner so you and your spouse can have half an hour after dinner to spend talking. You may ask your spouse to pick up the kids instead of you, go to the gym in the morning, or move a stack of work to the next day. Spend at least 15 to 30 minutes together with no electronic devices. Talk to one another about your days. Hold one another. Kiss. Spend this time enjoying each other and connecting. You can’t work on increasing the intimacy in your marriage alone. It has to be a joint effort between you and your spouse. When you are figuring out how and when to spend time together, make sure you plan together. Don’t plan it and tell your spouse. Instead, work together. This can also start to increase intimacy.  Sit down together with your weekly calendars. Think of times you can squeeze in 15 or 20 minutes to be together. If evenings are bad, consider mornings or lunch dates. See if close friends or family members would be willing to watch your kids now and then so that you can spend some time alone with your spouse. For example, you could ask your children's grandparents or a friend who has children around the same age. Every person needs different things to feel an intimate connection. Some people are more physical, while others are more emotional. You and your spouse should discuss what you need from each other to feel more intimate.  For example, you may say, “I need to be touched more, like hand holding, hugs, or your arm around me” or “I need you to be more affectionate. I’d like it if you smiled at me, complimented me, or acted happier to be around me.” Meeting your spouse...

TL;DR in English:


Boil some salted water. Blanch the broccoli rabe. Store any you don't cook.

This person might “bump into you” in the halls between classes or make a point to speak to you each time they see you. If they go out of their way to say hello or to speak to you, this can indicate interest. Watch for the person making excuses to be near you and spend time with you. For example, they might be eager to offer you a ride home or to walk you to class. Someone who’s interested in you might touch your hand or arm as you speak or touch the small of your back as they move behind you. Touching is a way to get close to you and show interest. Eye contact while touching you is a good sign that they’re interested, especially if they smile. The person may ask if you just got a haircut, got new shoes, or tried something different with your makeup. Someone who is interested in you will pay more attention to small details. If they comment about something, take this as a good sign. For example, they might say, “That’s a nice shirt. Is it new?” Someone who’s interested in you might start mirroring your gestures, posture, or body position. Mirroring shows that they feel connected and likely attracted to you. Notice if the person started out sitting or standing in one way and later looks more similar to yourself. Change your body position and notice if theirs changes as well. Some people choose to be indirect in showing that they’re interested and may send some mixed signals. For example, they might wait to text you back or not really appear to be interested in you. While manipulative, this is one way that some people show interest. It’s up to you, however, to respond in a way that is acceptable to you. If you like it when someone plays hard to get, play along. If you don’t like it, move on.

TL;DR in English: See if they go out of their way to spend time with you. See if they gently touch you. Pay attention when they notice small changes. Notice if they are sitting or standing in a similar way as you are. Recognize if they play hard to get.

If you and your girlfriend are unable to come to an agreement, you may try to make it clear that she is no longer welcome in your home. She may be trying to hold onto your relationship long enough for the troubles to blow over. If you are serious about wanting her to leave, make it clear by being honest and upfront with her.  Once you’ve been clear, you might want to be absent from the home a little more. Give her the time/space to move out, and avoid falling back into your previous relationship roles.  If she keeps pushing the issue, gently remind her that you've made up your mind and you are no longer willing to discuss it. Packing her bags sends a very clear message that you want her to leave. This method is pretty harsh and will more than likely upset her. If you do choose to pack her bags, do so neatly and carefully. Do not break her things. If the two of you own things together (like a couch or bed), it may be difficult to just pack her things. You might need to reach some agreement as to who keeps what. You might have good reason for asking her to leave, like you own the home and she doesn’t. If that’s not the case, you should consider moving out of the home yourself. She may have just as much claim to the home as you, and the two of you will have to come to some sort of agreement. If your girlfriend is refusing to accept the breakup, then moving out may be the best solution. Decide if keeping the place yourself is worth this dragging out.

TL;DR in English: Be direct. Pack her bags. Consider moving out yourself.

Pour water into a pot. Use one tablespoon of salt for a gallon of water. Place it on the stove over high heat, and bring the water to a boil. Also, have a bowl of ice water ready for after you cook the broccoli rabe. Many recipes call for the rabe to be blanched before other methods of cooking. The main purpose is to cut some of the bitterness. Drop the broccoli rabe in the boiling water, leaving it in the water for about three minutes. Scoop it out, and plunge it in ice water to stop the cooking, swishing it around a bit. Drain it well before you continue cooking it. If you don't use all of the broccoli rabe in the recipe, you can store the rest of it in the refrigerator. Keep it in a plastic bag. It will stay good for about five days, though it may last a day or two longer. Place a paper towel in the bag to help absorb moisture.

Make a pirate captain's hat. Decorate a naval captain's hat. Come up with your own theme. Finished.

Of course, you might not be able to take a shower right before you visit the massage parlor, but it is nice to take one at least within a couple of hours of your appointment. If you're coming after work or rushing from somewhere, though, your therapist will understand.  However, you don't need to worry about shaving your legs or getting a pretty pedicure. Just come as you are! Also, skip any perfumes, colognes, or aftershaves, which can be strong in a small room. While you don't necessarily need to drink extra water, you should drink enough that you're hydrated. Staying hydrated before and after the process can only help. Men should drink 15.5 cups (3.7 L) of water per day, while women should drink 11.5 cups (2.7 L) a day. However, if you drink when you're thirsty, you should be fine. If your stomach is full, you're not going to be comfortable for your massage. Let your body have time to digest, and you'll have a much better time. However, it's a good idea not to go to your appointment ravenous, as that will make you uncomfortable, too. Just like most areas of the service industry, it's customary to give your therapist a tip. In high-end spas, tips can even be as much as 30-40%. Keep in mind that therapists don't work a steady 40 hours a week, so any extra is helpful. You may be able to fill in these forms online ahead of time, but if you can't, you'll need to fill them out when you get there. Write in any medical conditions, along with problem areas you'd like to see addressed. Also, if you don't want any areas touched, you can note that on this form, too.  For problem areas, you might suggest you're having problems with your shoulders or you're having lower back pain, both of which the therapist can help address. You'll also be asked about your pain levels and what makes it better or worse. Have a list of the medications you're on, too.

TL;DR in English: Take a shower before you visit. Drink enough water to be hydrated before and after the massage. Wait at least an hour after eating to get a massage. Carry enough money for at least a 20% tip. Bring information on your medical history so you can fill in the clinic's forms.

Many people with hyperacidity settle their stomach by eating an apple. Apples are generally safe for this condition, so why not give the wisdom of the crowd a go? Just remember this is anecdotal evidence, and claims about apples having antacid properties are completely false. While there's no solid evidence behind its use as a hyperacidity treatment, ginger does seem to soothe the stomach. Either get ginger tea bags or better yet, cut up about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, add boiling water, steep for about 5 minutes and drink. Do this anytime during the day, but especially about 20-30 minutes before meals. Ginger can also help with nausea and vomiting. Ginger tea is considered safe for pregnant women. Although not definite, many specialists believe that late night eating can make symptoms worse. Don't eat for 2-3 hours before bedtime to reduce the risk of food putting pressure on your lower esophageal sphincter (LES) as you sleep. so you feel better in general. Based on early research, stress makes reflux symptoms feel subjectively worse but does not affect the objective condition. For your own comfort, identify situations that you find stressful and exhausting. Find ways to avoid those situations or prepare for them with various relaxing techniques. Start incorporating meditation, yoga, or just regular naps into your daily routine. You could also try deep breathing, acupuncture, getting a massage, taking a warm bath, or even saying a series of simple, affirmative statements in front of the mirror. None of these are proven treatments. However, if your hyperacidity symptoms are related to ulcerative colitis or bowel inflammation, there's a little evidence that these could help. Do not rely on these as your main treatment.  Drink 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice. You can drink this throughout the day, but don't drink more than 1 to 2 cups a day. Aloe vera can act as a laxative. Drink fennel tea. Crush about a teaspoon of fennel seeds and add a cup of boiled water. Add honey to taste and drink 2-3 cups a day about 20...

First, your hat will need to be black or brown. You can use black or brown paper from the start, or you can color in the paper after the fact. Add a "skull and crossbones" to the smooth front of the hat to show your friends that you're a scurvy sea dog. Consider ripping chunks out of the hat so that it looks worn and weather-beaten – a few tasteful burn marks would not be out of place here, either. Yarrr! If you're feeling fancy, try sticking a feather into the hat. Poke the sharp tip of the feather through the paper just above the flaps, and make sure that it sticks there. The more colorful and tropical-looking the feather, the better! A naval captain needs a crisp, clean white hat. Avoid lined or colored paper. Don't decorate with anything – except for, perhaps, a thin golden lining, or an ornate-looking naval insignia. If you'd like to be more direct, simply write "U.S. Navy" or "Naval Officer". Get creative! Invent a country and proudly fly its flag. Draw your own insignia on the front of the hat. Decorate with crazy colors, sparkles, beads, feathers – anything that feels right!

Mushroom no.2's challenge is for you to reflect all it's magic back to it and and hit it at least 80 times. Then jump and press □, but don't use the analog stick. This will cause Sora to glide in place and use absolute guard. All the magic attacks directed at you will be deflected by Sora's keyblades. Remember to adjust your position if the mushroom gets behind you; Sora's keyblades will only protect attacks from the front, so your side and back are wide open. Absolute guard won't be able to block this due to it being a multi-direction attack. Reflega will be able to block it and send all of it back to the mushroom. It will cause you to fall when you use it. Remember to face the mushroom, or the keyblades won't be able to protect you. It won't be hard as the keyblades will do most of the work for you.

TL;DR in English: Drive into Final form then Press ∆ to start the mini game. Lock-on the mushroom as soon as the mini game starts. Stay in this absolute guard position. Use Reflega if you see multiple magic shots. Jump and press □ after using Reflega. Repeat this until you reach 80 points.

There are three different size/weight ranges for a laptop: a netbook, a laptop, or desktop replacement. Although all of these fall into the broader concept of a "laptop", their end usability differs and can impact your choice.   There are several important things to consider when it comes to laptop size: Weight, screen size, keyboard layout, performance, and battery life. You will typically find netbooks to be the cheapest yet smallest of the choices, while regular laptops will need to strike a balance between all of the factors that suits your needs. Portability is a major concern for laptops. Getting a larger screen will sacrifice weight and portability. Consider the size of your bag when looking at different laptops. Netbooks, also known as a mini notebooks, ultrabooks, or ultraportables, are small laptops with a portable small screen of 7"-13"/17.79 centimeter (7.0 in)-33.3 centimeter (13.1 in). This has a compact size, is light in weight, and is usually suitable for emailing and browsing or light internet usage as their memory is small. Since netbooks tend not to have as much RAM as laptops, their ability to run sophisticated applications is limited.  The keyboard for netbooks will be significantly different than that of a standard-sized laptop. Make sure to give it a try before committing, because typing will feel odd for a while. Many tablet hybrids are now available. These come with detachable or flip-over keyboards, and usually have a touch screen. Consider these if you find yourself needing a tablet but can’t afford an iPad. These have a screen size of 13"-15"/33.3 centimeter (13.1 in)-38.1 centimeter (15.0 in). They are of medium weight, thin and light, and are able to hold a lot of memory. The decisions to make about a laptop's capacity really come down to your own preference as to screen size, and the amount of RAM you think you'll need (See next section).  Laptops come in all shapes and sizes. As technology improves, they are becoming slimmer and lighter. You will find that Mac laptops don’t...

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most effective way to treat avoidant personality disorder. Over time, therapy can help people with this disorder feel less self-conscious. An experienced therapist can help your loved one find ways to cope with their condition and live a fuller life.   Broach this topic gently and tactfully to avoid making your loved one feel defensive. For instance, you might say, “I’m a little worried about you. You seem lonely and isolated lately. I care about you and want you to be happy. Do you think seeing a therapist would help you have an easier time talking to people?” Seeking help early is important because it can help your loved one avoid the negative side effects of untreated avoidant personality disorder, such as depression.  If the relationship is a romantic one, you might offer to go to couples therapy with your beloved. If the relationship is a sibling or other relative, you might suggest going to family therapy. No matter how much you want to help someone, when dealing with a condition such as AvPD, the person affected has to decide to help themselves first.   Make sure the person knows they have your support and acceptance, but don’t put pressure on yourself to solve your loved one’s problems for them.  Say something like "I want you to know that I love you and I support your choice to get help. If there's something I can do, you need only ask." People with AvPD are at an increased risk for developing problems with addiction or substance abuse. They are also prone to depression. Healthy coping strategies can help them deal with their difficult feelings in constructive ways.   Be available for your loved one if they need someone to talk to or a shoulder to lean on, and encourage them to adopt healthy stress relief strategies such as exercise. Invite them to exercise with you. "Hey, why don't we go for a hike this weekend," or "Would you like to join me in Zumba class?" are great ways to help a best friend, sibling, or partner stay physically active and fight stress....

Make sure that there is an exponential expression on one side of the equation, and a whole number on the other side. If not, you need to rework the equation so that the exponent is alone on one side. For example, if your are trying to solve 3x−5−2=79{\displaystyle 3^{x-5}-2=79}, you first need to isolate 3x−5{\displaystyle 3^{x-5}} by adding 2 to each side of the equation:3x−5−2=79{\displaystyle 3^{x-5}-2=79}3x−5−2+2=79+2{\displaystyle 3^{x-5}-2+2=79+2}3x−5=81{\displaystyle 3^{x-5}=81} You need to determine whether the whole number can be converted to an exponent with the same base as the other exponent. If you can’t convert the whole number in this way, you cannot use this method. For example, look at the equation 3x−5=81{\displaystyle 3^{x-5}=81}. You need to change 81 to an exponent with a base of 3, so that it matches the other exponential expression in the equation. By factoring out 3, you should see that 3×3×3×3=81{\displaystyle 3\times 3\times 3\times 3=81}, so 34=81{\displaystyle 3^{4}=81}. The new equation then becomes 3x−5=34{\displaystyle 3^{x-5}=3^{4}}. Since you converted the whole number, you now have two exponential expressions with the same base. Since the bases are the same, you can ignore them and focus on the exponents. For example, since 3x−5=34{\displaystyle 3^{x-5}=3^{4}} has two exponents with a base of 3, you can ignore the base and simply look at the equation x−5=4{\displaystyle x-5=4}. To do this, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Make sure that whatever you do to one side, you also do to the other side. For example:x−5=4{\displaystyle x-5=4}x−5+5=4+5{\displaystyle x-5+5=4+5}x=9{\displaystyle x=9} You can see if your answer is correct by plugging the solution you found back into the original equation. After simplifying each expression, both sides of the equation should be equal. If they aren’t, you miscalculated and need to try again. For example, if you found that x=9{\displaystyle x=9}, you would plug in 9{\displaystyle 9} for x{\displaystyle x} in the...

TL;DR in English: Isolate the exponential expression. Rewrite the equation. Write the equation for the exponents only. Solve for the variable. Check your work.

You can allow them to dry slightly in a drain basket before handling them. Cut the figs into ½-inch (1.3-cm) pieces and set aside. Add the sugar. Allow the sugar to melt and combine with the sugar over the course of 15 minutes.  Stir them occasionally to better combine the sugar and figs. You will know they are ready when the sugar is mostly dissolved and the figs start to release their water.  You can replace white sugar with honey if you prefer to use a natural sweetener. You may want to use only a cup of honey due to its sweeter flavor. Lemon juice adds pectin, flavor a little acidity to the jam. It is a common ingredient in most jam recipes since it helps to thicken the consistency. You can slightly reduce the amount of juice you use in the recipe if you prefer a less acidic taste.

TL;DR in English: Wash the figs under running water. Stem the figs by slicing off the stem with a knife. Place the figs in the saucepan. Squeeze the lemon juice while the figs sit.

Once they begin blooming, most annuals will flower throughout the growing season. To keep them blooming, pinch off (deadhead) old flowers as they begin to wilt or fade. As long as the old blooms are removed, the plant will continue to produce flowers. Consult the seed packet to determine if your annuals benefit from deadheading. Some annuals, such as begonias, should not be deadheaded. Annuals have shallow root systems, so they require regular watering. For best results, water in the morning so the plants dry in the sun. Soak the soil completely, but be careful not to overwater, which can cause disease and fungus buildup. Monitor the health of your annuals to determine how often you need to water. If leaves or flowers droop or wilt, water the plants immediately. Annuals in the ground that were fertilized at planting typically do not need additional fertilizer. However, container-bound pots should be fertilized every few weeks with a water-soluble fertilizer. This will help maintain colorful flowers in the containers. Most annuals benefit from mulch, which helps the soil to retain moisture. Mulch also can help keep out weeds. Use organic mulch like shredded leaves, bark, grass clippings or other organic materials to improve the soil around the annuals. Some tall annuals can fall over, especially when they are in full bloom with heavy flowers. To keep them upright, stake them with wood and tie the tall stems to the stakes using twine.

If you find that you are having a particularly difficulty seeing at night, this can indicate an eye problem. Poor night vision can also be a symptom of cataracts, so if you do notice an appreciable difference in your night vision you should certainly visit an eye doctor.  You might realise you are beginning to have trouble driving at night, or can't see objects in the dark that other people can see.  Other indicators include, struggling to see stars at night or negotiate dark rooms, such as a movie theatre. The time it takes us to adapt to changes in light and dark surroundings generally increases as we get older. But if you notice that this adjustment is getting appreciably more difficult, it could signal an eye problem that may require glasses or contact lenses to correct, or could be related to a general medical condition. If you see bright circles that appear to surround a light source, such as light bulb, you may have an eye problem. Halos are a common symptom of cataracts, but can also indicate one of the four main eye problems. You should book an appointment with an eye doctor to get a diagnosis. If you are experiencing a noticeably increased sensitivity to light you should book an appointment with your eye doctor. It can indicate a number of eye problems, so you will need to see an expert for a full diagnosis. If the change is sudden and dramatic, don't hesitate to make an appointment. If you find light hurting your eyes, or you have to squint or wince when you are in bright light then your sensitivity may have increased.

TL;DR in English: Find out if you have trouble seeing in the dark. Consider whether you are having difficulty adjusting between light and dark surroundings. Discover whether or not you see halos around lights. Decide if you have increased sensitivity to light.

“Therefore” should always be followed up with a comma. This is because there is a natural pause after “therefore” when it is included in a sentence. Without the comma the sentence may sound rushed to readers.  For example, “I love spending time in nature. Therefore I go camping every summer.” Without the comma, there is no pause after “therefore.” However, if you add the comma, then this will tell readers to pause after they read the word “therefore.” The revised sentence reads like this: “I love spending time in nature. Therefore, (pause here) I go camping every summer.” If you are using “therefore” in the middle of a sentence to separate 2 independent clauses, then you will need to use a semicolon. In other words, if each part of the sentence could stand alone as a sentence, then place a semicolon at the end of the first independent clause, follow that with “therefore,” and then place a comma after therefore before continuing the sentence. For example, “Marcus loves to travel with his family; therefore, he is constantly on the lookout for low-cost airfares.” As with any sentence, “therefore” should be capitalized if it is at the beginning of a sentence, but it does not need to be capitalized in any other instance.

TL;DR in English: Follow “therefore” with a comma. Place a semicolon (;) before “therefore” when separating independent clauses. Capitalize “therefore” when it is at the beginning of a sentence.

Instead of using a lip liner pencil, you can use your lipstick as your liner. Select the another color than your lipstick, like a darker color for contrast. This will still give your lips a barrier to apply lipstick but with a lighter contrasting shade, like pink or nude.

While you want to rest up the day and night before you start your new job, make fruitful use of the remainder of any lag time you have before starting.  Contact HR and complete ahead of time some of the mountain of forms that will surely be waiting for you.  This will enable you to focus your first day more on getting to know your workplace and co-workers, and to jump right in to work. Keep up-to-date on the company by following its website, social media presence, and media mentions.  Be ready for any changes (good or bad) that may happen between your hiring and first day. Ask your supervisor if there is any research, organization, or other preparatory work you can begin before your first day.  This will help you get a “leg up” on your initial tasks and shows initiative. The first impression you make on your co-workers will be difficult to change, so provide them an image of a friendly, engaging, helpful, and dedicated compatriot.  Do a little homework on the web to familiarize yourself with your co-workers ahead of time (basic info, not life histories — you want to be seen as a friend, not a stalker).  Then, on your first day, introduce yourself to everyone you can, but in an organic, sensible manner.  That is, don’t walk right past people without shaking hands and giving your name, but also don’t glad-hand around the room like you’re running for President while people are busy working.  Accept invitations to lunch, drinks after work, or other such get-togethers if at all possible.  This is part of why you want to pack a first-day lunch that you don’t have to feel bad about leaving in your desk (or worry about the smell if you do).  Volunteer to help with tasks, or even take one on yourself.  Earn a reputation right from the start as a helpful, eager “team player.”  Don’t let it backfire by taking on tasks for which you are not yet prepared to do well, however. As indicated in this section, you don’t want to be a wallflower on your first day.  At the same time, however, don’t spend so much time trying to...

TL;DR in English: Start before you start. Be eager but not overbearing. Listen, observe, and learn. Don’t make excuses.

Commercially available eye wash solutions are useful for dislodging something from your eye.  Eye wash solutions differ in their application process.  Some use indirect application by filling a small eye cup with solution, then covering your eye with the eye cup and tilting your head back.  Other solutions use a direct method, in which you tilt your head back, then drip or squirt solution directly from the bottle and into your eye. If you have an eye cup (used for rinsing eyes), use that to wash out your eyes with cool, clean water. Otherwise, use a small bowl or cup full of water and splash the water into your open eye. You can also place your open eye under a gently-pouring faucet or shower to rinse it out. Gently pinch your upper eyelid and lift it up slightly from the eye.  Slip the cotton swab or corner of a clean cloth gently behind the eyelid and slowly roll your eye toward the back of your head.  Remove the swab or cloth and check to see if you still feel something in your eye.  If you’re unsure, which may occur if your eye is still red or irritated after the removal of the object, you could also check the surface of the cotton swab or cloth for something foreign. If, after rinsing your eye with solution and/or water, you can still feel something in your eye, use a cotton swab or clean cloth to get it out.  Always wipe in a gentle up or down motion, and never swipe across the eye.  To protect your cornea, look in the direction opposite the place where something is lodged in your eye.  For instance, if something is in the right side of your eye, look toward the left. Check the cotton swab or cloth after each attempt at removal.  If your cotton swab or cloth was white, you should be able to see it on the cotton swab or cloth after it’s been removed. If you’re having difficulty getting the particle out of your eye and can’t see it in a mirror, you should turn to a friend for help.  Hold your eyelids open and allow your friend to check for the presence of something.  Move your eye around so your friend...

TL;DR in English: Wash the eye with eye solution. Rinse your eyes with water. Place a cotton swab or corner of a clean cloth behind the upper eyelid. Use a cotton swab or corner of a clean cloth to remove the object. Have a friend help you.

It is important to choose a bronzer that is not too dark or light to look natural on you. Depending on your skin color, choose a bronzer made specifically for light, medium, or dark skin tones. Go for a color that’s 1-2 shades darker than your skin tone, but no more.  As a general rule, lighter skin tones will require a soft, golden bronzer, while darker skin tones will look better with a dark bronze shade. If you are unsure which color will best suit you, ask a makeup artist at a department store makeup counter for help.

Maintaining a diet of healthy and nutrient-rich foods and meals can promote your overall health. Foods that have moderate levels of fat, complex carbohydrates, and are high in vitamins and minerals, for example, are best for your general health. You should aim to eat about 2,000 calories per day to maintain optimal body function, or more if you are active and not trying to lose weight. A key part of any healthy diet is getting enough vitamins and nutrients to bolster your overall health. A part of this is getting enough fat- and water-soluble vitamins, in addition to other vitamins and nutrients. You will enough of the recommended daily allowances if you eat foods from the five food groups. There are five food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy.  Try to eat 1-1.5 cups of fruit daily. Whole fruits including raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries are good and nutrient-rich choices. You can also get fruits from drinking 100% fruit juice. Select different fruits each time you eat that. This can help ensure you get different nutrients, including many water-soluble vitamins. For example, have blueberries and strawberries one day, and have raspberries and blackberries the next. Aim for 2.5-3 cups of vegetables every day. Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, spinach, or peppers can provide what you need. You can also drink 100% vegetable juice. Change up the vegetables you eat so that you get different nutrients, including many water-soluble vitamins. Consume 5-8 ounces of grains per day. At least half of your daily intake should be from whole grains. Foods like brown rice, cereal, oatmeal, and whole wheat pasta or bread are good choices. Grains also offer Vitamin B, which is one of of the primary water-soluble vitamins. Get 5-6.5 ounces of protein per day. You can find protein in lean meats such as beef, pork, or poultry; cooked beans; eggs; peanut butter; or nuts and seeds. Protein is also a source of many fat-soluble vitamins. Consume 2-3 cups, or 12 oz., of dairy per day. You can get...

A chestnut or sorrel horse has a coppery red or deep reddish brown coat color on the body and legs. The mane and tail will be the same color as the body or lighter. Make sure the horse has no black points to classify it as a chestnut or sorrel.  Flaxen chestnuts are a variety of chestnuts with much lighter tails and manes. The tails and manes should be a pale yellow color to classify a chestnut as a flaxen. A light chestnut, or sandy chestnut, is a variety of chestnut horse with a sand-colored body, legs, mane, and tail. The body color of palominos varies from light tan to darker golden shades. Their manes and tails will be pale flaxen or white, and sometimes have some black hairs mixed in. Palominos are differentiated by names like golden palomino, chocolate palomino, or yellow palomino to describe the different shades of their body color. Red dun horses are similar in color to chestnuts. Look for a dorsal stripe running down the middle of their back to distinguish a red dun horse. The coat of a red dun can be varying shades of red or reddish yellow. The mane and tail can be lighter or darker than the body color. Cream or cremello horses have a very light, almost white coat. The mane and tail are also almost or completely white. The skin of the horse is a pale pink color and the eyes are always blue. Perlino is a variation of the cremello color in which little amounts of a coffee or cream color are mixed in to the mane, tale, and lower legs of the horse. Smokey cream or smokey perlino are names used when there are higher concentrations of these colors in the horse.

TL;DR in English: Identify a chestnut or sorrel horse by its red color all over with no black hairs. Spot a palomino horse by its golden or yellow color and pale mane and tail. Recognize a red dun horse by a red-brown color all over and a dorsal stripe. Identify a cream or cremello horse by its ivory color, pink skin, and blue eyes.

Before you send the letter, consider whether this government official will be able to meaningfully act on your letter. Avoid asking for unrealistic things. Do not ask the government official to do more than his/her job allows. Take a step back and consider whether there is a better channel for your complaint. Petitions and form letters are usually well-written and actionable. Make sure, however, that the demanded actions fall within the scope of this official's duties. Depending on rank, government officials may receive dozens to hundreds of letters each day. He or she may even employ professional letter-sorters to determine which select few messages actually wind up in the hands of the official. Make your letter polite, concise, and topical. In the first sentence or subject line, reference an issue that is at the top of the official's agenda. Is it necessary, or are you just venting? Send a request that is polite, concise, and realistic. Do not swear or drop insults. Respect begets respect. Do not threaten a government official. The letter can be traced back to you. Beyond any risk, your threats will not necessarily inspire productive action.

If you apply for a work-from-home advisor position, you'll be a member of AppleCare (Apple's customer service team). Your job will be to give customers advice on Apple software, hardware, services, and accessories over the phone or in a chat window. You don't have to have extensive Mac experience, but you should have some experience troubleshooting other operating systems, such as Windows. It's helpful, but not necessary, to have specific experience solving Mac problems. Before you officially begin work as an At-Home Advisor, you'll receive 5-7 weeks of specialized training on how to address customer concerns. To become an AppleCare At-Home Advisor, you will need to have a clean, quiet desk space where you will be capable of focusing for the duration of a typical 8-hour work day. If you are hired, Apple will provide you with a company iMac and a headset, so don't worry if you don't already have a Mac. Whether or not you have a computer, you will be expected to have an internet speed of 10 MB/s for downloading and 1 MB/s for uploading. The application process for becoming an at-home advisor is about 1-2 months long, but it begins with an online application, much like retail and corporate positions. Investigate available positions on this webpage: https://www.apple.com/jobs/us/aha.html. Then, fill out an application for the one that suits you best. In your application, you'll be expected to answer some basic interview questions, such as why you want to work for Apple and what qualities you would bring to the position. You may also be asked to answer a few straightforward technical questions. If the hiring team thinks you're a suitable candidate, you'll be invited to join in a video interview that's about an hour to an hour and a half long. The main purpose of this interview is to gauge your technical abilities and problem-solving skills. You may encounter role-play situations in which you might have to respond to an interviewer pretending to be a customer with a specific problem. If you have limited experience...

Take action as soon as possible after the chocolate has been rubbed into the carpet. As with most stains, the longer you leave it, the tougher it will be to remove. You can use a paper towel to blot excess chocolate, or scrape it gently with a dull knife.  If you choose to use a knife, place the removed chocolate onto a paper towel.  Wipe the knife frequently to avoid smearing or grinding in the chocolate. If the chocolate is soft, chill it with an ice cube or frozen package to make it easier to chip out with the knife. Different carpets react to stain removal techniques in different ways. Using the wrong removal method could cause the stain to become permanent or leave a worse mark than the stain itself.  Determine if your carpet is made of natural or synthetic fiber, as this will affect the types of liquid cleaners that are safe to use. If you're in any doubt about your carpet's suitability, contact a professional carpet cleaner. Before trying out any cleaning solutions, test a small amount on a patch of carpet. Wait 20 minutes to ensure the product will not damage your carpet. If your carpet starts to turn brown or lighter in color, immediately rinse the solution with cold water. Stop and call a professional. These will protect your hands from the chemicals in the cleaning solutions. You may also want to put on an old t-shirt just in case any other cleaning solutions splashes onto your clothing.

TL;DR in English: Act quickly. Remove excess chocolate. Check the carpet type. Do a patch test. Put on a pair of rubber gloves.

Use some WD40 and microfiber cloth, but do not use WD40 excessively. The double-sided tape should come with the front panel replacement when you purchased it. Make sure it is spotless before applying the new glass. Inspect it in the light for inconsistencies or blemishes that you should wipe off before applying. Peel off the paper on the strips of sticker tape on the phone, and peel out the protective plastic on the surfaces of the replacement screen. Make sure to secure it properly.  Make sure everything is dust free before doing so. Apply pressure on the edges of the screen to make them adhere securely while lining up the buttons to the appropriate areas while applying the glass. You can use a small flathead screwdriver to secure the touch buttons (Back and Menu buttons) ribbons to the right position when laying the bottom of the panel down. Place firm pressure around the circumference of the phone only.

If you were required to fast prior to the blood test, you’ll want to bring a snack for after the test. Also bring a bottle of water and a snack that doesn’t require refrigeration. This will tide you over until you are able to eat a meal.  Peanut butter crackers, a peanut butter sandwich, a handful of almonds or walnuts, or whey protein are all easy to transport and will give you some protein and calories until you can get a meal. If you forgot to bring anything to eat, ask the staff where you have had blood drawn. They may keep cookies or crackers around for just this purpose. Some tests can be finished within 24 hours while others can take a week or more if the blood must be shipped to a special laboratory. Talk with your doctor about the process used to deliver the results of the blood test. In some cases the office will not notify you if the results are all within normal limits. If the blood is sent off, also ask how long it will be before the office gets the results from the laboratory.  Ask to be notified, even if the results are normal. This will ensure that your results don’t "fall through the cracks" and you aren’t notified if the results are not normal. Call the doctor’s office 36 to 48 hours after the results should have arrived if you are not notified. Ask your doctor’s office if they use an online notification system. You may be given a website to register through so your results can be delivered digitally to you. The most common side effect to having blood drawn is a bruise, or hematoma, at the site where the needle went in. The bruise can show up immediately or within 24 hours after the blood was drawn. Some of the factors that contribute to the formation of a hematoma include blood leaking out of the opening when a needle goes through a vein, which leaks into the surrounding tissue. They can also be caused by bleeding disorders or anticoagulant medications, which increases the risk that a bruise or hematoma will occur where the blood is drawn.  Applying pressure over the area where the blood...

There is no way, unfortunately, to outsmart an authority figure like a parent or a teacher every single time. There are, however, times when they'll be more susceptible to persuasion.  If you're trying to wheedle something out of a parent when they've just gotten home from a difficult day at the office you are not going to have luck getting them to agree to something. In fact, you may make it so that you'll never actually get that thing. Likewise, asking your teacher for an extension on that project you didn't complete in front of the rest of your classmates is going to make them less likely to give it to you than if you discussed it with them privately. There are very few people who aren't susceptible to a little bit of flattery or appreciation. It's important that you don't only do this when you want something, however, otherwise they'll be able to see through your machinations.  Thank them for something. For example: if you're trying to convince your mom to buy you a new phone, say something like "Mom, I really appreciate how hard you work at your job." Compliment them in a way that isn't terribly obvious, or directly related to what you're trying to get them to do. Say something like "Ms. Harding, you're my favorite teacher, because you're always willing to go the extra mile and help me out." People are so much more likely to help you do something or give you something if it also benefits them. Authority figures are just as likely to fall for that as anyone else. For example: if you're trying to get a new phone, you might say something like "mom, I really want to make sure that you can reach me anytime you need to." If you demonstrate that you're mature enough to meet your authority figure halfway on something, you're much more likely to get something from them. It's good to prepare ahead of time so that you know exactly what you're going to offer them in return. For example, you might tell your mom that you have saved up half of what it would cost to get a new phone, and that you were wondering if you...

TL;DR in English: Pick the right time. Soften them up. Give them a reason why something benefits them. Meet them halfway. Tell an obvious lie to hide a non-obvious lie.

Once you've adopted your own fit and healthy lifestyle, you can start slowly convincing your family to join you. One great way to do this is to get the whole family involved in the cooking process.  Get kids to help you with baking by doing simple tasks such as sifting the flour during home baking, or beating the eggs for a healthy omelette. Ask family members what their specific likes and likes and dislikes are — if Dad doesn't like onions, maybe you could leave them out of the next salad you make. Host a family pizza night — everyone can roll out their own wholewheat pizza dough and load it with their favorite healthy toppings. This is also a fun way for the family to spend time together. When healthy food looks good, it makes it a lot more tempting to eat, so try to jazz up your healthy dishes by adding colorful fresh ingredients and interesting textures.  If you're trying to get kids to eat fruit, a colorful fruit salad will look a lot more appealing than a few brown pieces of apple. Mixing in some fresh fruit juice or yogurt will also add flavor to the dish and make it more interesting. If you're trying to convince adult members of the family to eat salad, you may not have much luck with a boring combination of lettuce, tomato and cucumber (although these make a good base). Try adding things like strawberries or olives for color, nuts and seeds for texture and eggs and avocados for flavor. A tasty dressing made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar and crushed garlic can also help to make a salad more attractive to picky eaters. Another, sneakier way of introducing your family to healthy eating is to hide healthy foods in tasty dishes. In this way, your family can enjoy their mealtimes, but still benefit from the vitamins and nutrients that healthy food provides.  On it's own, spinach isn't a very attractive ingredient, but if you try hiding it inside puff pastry with some garlic and low-fat cheese, your family will soon be fighting over it! You could also try introducing items like lettuce, carrots and bean...

Focus on sanding one small section at a time. Use a sanding block or pad—not a power sander. Begin sanding. Change directions. Sand with higher-grit paper. Make it dull.

Asking a suggestive question will excite him and get his imagination going. It also invites him to reply with something equally suggestive. You might ask any of the following:  “What's your secret fetish?” “Why do you make me so frisky?!” “Remember that time we (insert something naughty the two of you have done)? Game for round 2?” “I'm crazy flexible. All that yoga's really paying off...wanna see later?” “Want to play dare or dare?” Send a playful text that hints at something a little more naughty using relatively innocent language. This will remind him of how much fun you are to be around (and do things with!). Try these playful lines:  “You'd look so vogue wearing my panties. Fashion show later? Please!?” “I can't stop laughing at this sex scene I just watched—ha! We could do better.” “I can't stop thinking about naughty things. Can you help me with this?” “Hey, I'm trying to focus here, if you could stop thinking about doing dirty things with me that'd be great. 😉” Whether you're a soft romantic or bold vixen type, sending a candid text about how you feel about him will deepen your relationship. Super straightforward lines are especially effective if you know he likes it when you take the reigns. You might try:  “Your kisses really do something to me, like a lightning bolt.” “I can't sleep. All I keep thinking about is having you here next to me.” “Making love to you feels like I'm on another planet.” “I loved it when you ____ the other night, I've never felt that good before.” “Confession: I want you. Like, now.” Discuss what you plan to do to him, talk about what you're wearing, or make up a sexual scenario involving the two of you. Try to add as much detail as you can and be as bold or subtle as you feel comfortable doing. For example, you might text:  “First, I'm going to slowly run my fingers across your lips…” “I'm wearing those panties you like…” “You. Me. Naked. Kitchen counter. Dinner. Repeat.”

TL;DR in English: Ask teasing and intriguing questions to get you on his mind. Show your sense of humor to spark his imagination. Be bold with a romantic or straightforward text. Send sensory details to make him fantasize about you.

The size of the section is up to you, but one square foot at a time is usually a good approach; just remember which sections you have done and which you haven’t. This will make the job of sanding the entire car body more manageable. It will also ensure that each part of the surface receives adequate attention. Ideally, you’d use a rubber pad as it helps conform to the shape of your panel’s surface. For optimal results, start with the 600-grit sandpaper, and then sand later with the higher-grit paper, such as a 1500-2000-grit paper. Otherwise, go straight to the higher-grit paper.  Use very little pressure. With your soaked paper in one hand and a wet rag in the other, begin sanding with long strokes all in the direction wind travels across the car: from bumper to windshield, for example. Sand with one hand, and use your other hand to keep the surface wet with your rag. Remember to sand evenly. Periodically take a step back to look at your progress and make sure everything looks even. After sanding in one direction, cross out the original strokes with a slight diagonal direction. Remember to keep the surface dripping wet, to prevent burning the clear coat. If you’ve chosen to begin with 600-grit paper, now is the time to do a second sanding with 1500-grit or 2000-grit paper. Your surface should appear very dull after sanding. This is the goal. Buffing will make it shine.

You can move your token in any one legal direction: toward a wedge or toward the center when on a spoke, clockwise or counterclockwise when on the outer wheel. You can also move from a spoke to the outer wheel or from the outer wheel to a spoke. However, you cannot reverse direction in the middle of a roll. If you land on a "Roll Again" space, roll the die again. (You can move in any legal direction, including the opposite direction from your previous roll.) In Trivial Pursuit, you get to move again if you give the right answer. You can keep rolling, moving, and answering questions until you get one wrong. Just keep in mind that the questions you answer must correspond with the color space you land on. For example, if you land on a blue space, then you must answer a blue question.  If you are in the center space and have not earned all six wedges, you may answer a question in any category of your choice. In the 25th Anniversary Edition, the question you must answer is also determined by the roll of the die, as each box contains questions for a single category. The higher you roll, the more difficult the question you receive. You can earn pie pieces by correctly answering questions, but you can only earn a pie piece when you are on a pie space. These spaces look different from the others on the board because they show an image of the pie token with a wedge in it. For example, if you land on a brown wedge space and answer the question correctly, then you would earn a brown pie piece. When a player gets all six pie pieces, that player may begin moving to the center or the board. You must keep rolling and moving each turn as usual until you get to the center space on the board. You need to roll the exact number of spaces to get to the center space. Keep in mind that you may spend several turns coming up short of or overshooting the center until you land on it. When you get to the center space, your fellow players may choose any category and ask you a question from that category. If you answer this question...

Use color-safe, sulfate-free products. Deep-condition your hair once per week with a hair mask. Wash your hair no more than once or twice a week. Use cool water when washing your hair. Limit the heat styling when possible. Touch up your hair every 3 to 4 weeks, or as needed.

Start by trying to distill down your novel idea into one sentence. You may need several minutes to one hour to create a one sentence summary. Aim for 15 words or fewer and avoid any character names in the summary. The summary should include the central conflict or issue at the heart of the novel. For example, you may write “A woman living in seclusion in the jungle gets a visit from the daughter she never knew she had.” Once you have the one sentence summary, you should try to expand it into a paragraph that is detailed and specific. Use the summary as a guide to write about the major conflicts or issues in the novel as well as the ending of the novel. Aim for five sentences total, one sentence that discusses the story set up, three sentences on the major conflicts or issues, and one sentence on the ending of the novel. For example, you may write “A woman, Susan, lives in seclusion in the jungle where she tries to live off the land. She gets an unexpected visit from a daughter she never knew she had and they develop the beginnings of a relationship. She makes the decision to move with her daughter to the city, but realizes she does not fit into her daughter’s lifestyle. She struggles to connect to others and adopt a modern way of life. In the end, Susan leaves the city and her daughter behind and returns to the jungle.” Now that you have a one paragraph summary of the novel, you can start to dig into the details of your characters. Create profiles for each main character, including details about the characters like their age, their physical appearance, their way of speaking, and their general disposition.  For example, you may have a character profile that reads, “Susan, 37, dark hair, Latin features, dresses plainly in practical clothing, speaks Spanish and English, keeps to herself and tends to be solitary in nature.” You may also include storylines for each character and note how they intersect with one another. For example, you may write, “Susan was planning to live in the jungle forever, away from...

TL;DR in English: Create a one sentence summary of the novel. Expand the summary into a detailed paragraph. Write profiles for each main character. Make a spreadsheet of scenes.

Do not use products that contain sulfates. Sulfates are great at cleaning your hair, but they can also strip it of dye. If you want to make your color last longer, stick with color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Most products will say on the label if they are color-safe or sulfate-free. If you are not sure, read the ingredient list on the back of the bottle. Avoid anything with the word "sulfate" in it. Add some of your dye to your bottle of conditioner. This will deposit a little bit of color into your hair each time that you wash it and help the color last longer. Purchase a deep-conditioning mask meant for colored or chemically-treated hair. Apply the mask to damp hair, then tuck your hair under a plastic shower cap. Wait for the time on the package, then rinse the mask out. Most hair masks need to be left in your hair for 5 to 10 minutes, but some need to be left in for 15 to 20 minutes. Read the label, but don't panic if you leave the mask in too long. The more often you wash your hair, the faster it will fade--even with a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner. If your hair tends to get oily or greasy, consider using a dry shampoo between your washing sessions. Much like heat styling, hot water can cause the dye to fade faster from your hair. It can also cause your hair to appear damaged. After you have finished shampooing and conditioning your hair, rinse your hair with cold water for 1 minute for extra smoothness and shine. If you can't handle cold water, use lukewarm water instead. Unless it is freezing outside and you are running late for work or school, let your hair air dry. If you want to curl your hair, seek out a method that does not require any heat, such as foam hair rollers. Avoid straightening your hair, when possible.  If you must use a flat iron or a curling iron, make sure that your hair is completely dry first. Apply a good heat protectant and use a lower heat setting. The sun can cause the color to fade as well. Wear hats, scarves, or hoods when going outside....

TL;DR in English:


Talk quietly. Go where you can talk. Learn mindful communication. Try to filter what you say.

If you are old enough to have to consider professional clothing, do so where grown-ups shop. That also goes for clothing stores that cater exclusively to teens and very young adults like "Forever 21". That does not necessarily mean you have to dress exactly like your mother or father. However, if you are trying to find clothing to help you to be taken seriously as a young adult, you have to accept that you have to dress the part--at least at work. In putting together a wardrobe of work clothes, often your best ally are good salespeople in a quality store.  This can be a stand-alone store, such as a menswear store, or a department store. A knowledgeable salesperson can help you select clothing to meet your needs, be sure it fits properly, and accessorize appropriately.  Try to find a salesperson dressed more or less in the way you want to dress. This may be a good indication that he or she has a fashion sensibility that matches yours. However, be open for other individuals. That matronly salesperson may actually really know what the young people like these days! It can help to bring someone whose judgement you trust to this sort of shopping trip.For instance, your mother or your fashion-savvy friend. Yes, you need to try on the clothes. Ill-fitting clothes are not professional, and fit cannot typically be judged well on a hanger. If ordering online, be prepared to send back things that do not fit. Make sure of fit. Just because you can wear it does not mean it fits properly. This includes pants that are showing the lines of your underwear, and baggy oversized shirts. Minor alterations are usually available at higher-end stores, and can make a great different in fit and appearance. Remember: the salesperson will ultimately sell you whatever you want, even if it really is not in line with appropriateness or good taste. Be sure that you keep your goal in sight, and not revert to great clothing that cannot be worn to work. To most of the world, blue jeans are a simple "no-no" in the workplace; they are considered...

TL;DR in English: Do not shop at the junior's department for work clothes. Shop at stores with high customer service. Be careful with jeans. Keep your accessories to a minimum. Try to cover up body modifications. Keep your clothes in good condition. Do not repeat outfits within in the same week. Make sure your clothing "plays well together". Keep a back-up outfit at work. Do not wear anything that your boss or other superior will frown on.

The substances used in this section are powerful stain removers. However, due to their strength, they may bleach your fabric or cause permanent damage to the fibres. These methods are best used on white, non-delicate items, or as a last resort after other methods have failed. Once you've acquired one of the following solutions, use a cotton ball or paper towel to dab a small amount on a corner or hidden area of the fabric. Let it sit for five to ten minutes to see whether it stains your fabric. Vinegar is not typically as strong as the options below, but still has the potential to harm fabric. Soak the stained fabric in white vinegar for about thirty minutes, then rub the stain with your fingers as you rinse it in cool water. Repeat if the stain is noticeably improved but still present. A 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, which is the strength it is typically sold at, can be poured directly onto the stain or applied with a cotton ball. Be aware that it will likely bleach colored fabric. Keep the fabric in a dark place for 5-10 minutes, since light breaks down hydrogen peroxide, then blot with a sponge or cloth. Start with "household ammonia" or "ammonia hydroxide," sold as a cleaning product. Dilute this with an equal amount of water, and leave it on the stain for fifteen minutes before blotting and rinsing. If your "test corner" showed signs of damage, you may wish to soak the fabric in a much weaker solution, such as 15 ml (1 tbsp) household ammonia, 1 L (1 quart) water, and a drop of liquid handwashing detergent.  Warning: ammonia may destroy the protein fibres that form silk or wool. Household ammonia is approximately 5—10% ammonia and 90–95% water. Stronger ammonia solutions are highly caustic, and should be diluted even more.

TL;DR in English: Understand the risks. Test on a corner of the item first. Consider using white vinegar. Try hydrogen peroxide. Test an ammonia mixture instead.

If you have a tendency to talk to yourself in a loud tone that you find embarrassing, consider talking in a quieter tone. Whenever you find yourself self-talking aloud, lower your volume to a level that you are comfortable with and that is not disruptive to those around you. Although thinking out loud is good for your thought process, you do not want to be a nuisance. If you want to help your brain work through a task or memorize a certain bit of information, you might whisper to yourself in a soft tone or go somewhere where you can talk out loud. In some places, thinking out loud may not be appropriate. For example, if you are studying in a quiet library, speaking out loud may earn you some glares. In that case, try going somewhere, like a park, where you can think out loud.  If you need to work through something out loud, consider doing it at home or in your office. Find a space where you will not distract other people. Mindfulness is a way to be present in your current situation. Being mindful when you communicate with people is a way to be curious, kind, and compassionate. It can also help you to avoid lying, hurtful or verbally aggressive language, gossip, and divisive speech. Using mindful communication can also help to improve your relationships. It will improve your ability to listen, respond, and engage with your friends, family, coworkers, and others. Saying what you think can be difficult if you have a tendency to say rude or hurtful things. In that case, practice using your inner monologue around other people. When you are around others, say in your head what you might normally say out loud and, if it is not rude, vocalize that thought. If you are unable to filter what you say, despite your best efforts, you should visit a mental health professional.

Tell your spouse that you'd like to have a serious conversation about your mother-in-law, and ask him or her when a good time would be. Letting your spouse know in advance that you want to have a serious talk will keep them from feeling blindsided when you do sit down to talk.  Don't avoid the talk for too long, as doing so builds resentment. In addition, if you want too long, your stress could come out as you snapping at your spouse because they're the person you can take it out on. You want your mother-in-law to move out, and you need to be upfront about that. Remember, though, your spouse may not want to hear it, especially if they enjoy having their mother around.  You could say, "I love your mother, I do. I think it's time that we have our own space, though. I think it's time to ask your mother to move out." Don't forget to give your partner some breathing room before launching into why. Make a list of everything extra you do because your mother-in-law is in the house. This step isn't to be petty. It's to show your spouse that it really is taxing for his or her mother to be there. Your spouse may not even realize how much of a burden it is putting on you.  You don't want to blame your spouse for the extra work. Rather, you just want to bring his or her attention to it. For example, you don't want to say, "Your mother is so much work!" Rather, you might say, "I'm working longer hours with her in the house. I love her, and I like doing things for her. However, there's only so much of me to go around. You may not realize how much extra I do because she's here, so here are some of the things I do for her." You also need to discuss what stress she brings to the household. It could be intentional stress, such as her criticizing your choices, or could be non-intentional, such as her constant presence putting a damper on your sex life.  Once again, try to bring it up in such a way that you're not blaming your spouse for it. Try using "I" statements instead of "You" statements. As an example, you could say, "I...

TL;DR in English: Ask your spouse to sit down with you. Tell your spouse what you want. Bring up any extra work. Talk about the stress. Discuss finances. Agree on common goals. Understand where your spouse is coming from.

Safe Mode is the best place to start to fix your computer when it is malfunctioning. This mode can be used to combat certain types of viruses, as well as a diagnosis tool if you are unsure of why the computer is not functioning. If the computer boots and functions in Safe Mode, then you know that the problem is with a program, driver or other file, rather than with the computer itself. Reboot in Safe Mode from the Shutdown menu, if accessible. If the Shutdown menu is inaccessible, you can restart the computer and repeatedly press F8 while it is loading. This should give you access to the Boot Menu. Press the down key to access the Safe Mode option and hit enter. Once the program starts, you can begin attempting to fix your computer. There are a number of different methods you can try to which you use will largely depend on what kind of problem you are having.  Delete files associated with a known virus in your system that the virus would normally make inaccessible. Download or run anti-virus software that a virus would normally make inaccessible. This may require you to boot in Safe Mode with Networking. Uninstall recently installed programs which you suspect may be causing problems. Update drivers if you suspect that severely outdated drivers may be the problem. Do a System Restore, which is similar to the Last Known Good Configuration below. Do this by searching System Restore from the start menu and following the prompts. Don’t forget to scan for affected programs.

Cut about 1 inch (2.5 cm) more bias binding than you will need. Join the ends before you sew the rest of the bias binding. Pinch and mark the bias tape where the ends meet. Pin the marked areas in place. Sew a few stitches into the crease at each of the marks. Fold down the excess bias binding. Sew the rest of the bias binding as desired for your project.

Your course syllabus is the sheet of paper that lists each session’s topic and required reading. Look over the titles, units, and other information listed in the syllabus to find clues about how the course’s larger themes fit together. Ask yourself, “How does the syllabus organize these facts and figures? Does it mention or hint at any key critical questions? What connections does it make between individual class sessions?” You can make a study guide or outline once you’ve looked over your syllabus and gotten a feel for how the class organizes information. Use the syllabus as a guide to structure and consolidate your study guide.  Your study guide won’t do you much good if it simply copies your class notes. Look for key themes in your class notes, pull out the essential information, and put it in your outline. For example, if you’re outlining class sessions on the Wars of the Roses, you could list key members (along with their dates and titles) of the houses of Lancaster and York in one section of your study guide. Then, you could outline underlying causes of the rivalry between the houses. Finally, you could list key battles and their dates, temporary truces and how they broke down, and the conflict’s resolution. When studying history, charts, drawings, and maps are sometimes the best way to visualize how the information fits together. In addition to being great study tools, making visual aids like timelines, family trees, and flow charts will help give you a bird’s eye view of the material. For example, making family trees and a timeline would come in handy if you’re trying to prepare for an exam on the Wars of the Roses. Your teacher is there to help you! If you’re not sure what they are looking for, ask them. For example, ask them what the exam's format will be, what the unit's main theses (or key ideas) are, and what information is most important.

TL;DR in English: Read the course syllabus to identify overarching themes. Synthesize information by making an outline or study guide. Create a chart or map to make connections between facts. Ask your teacher for help.

Have all of your facial supplies ready so you're not scrambling around hot water while the steam escapes. You can easily set up your steam facial in the kitchen (nearest the hot water) or the bathroom. You'll need:  A kettle Water 3 to 7 drops of essential oils A thick clean towel A large basin or bowl Fill the kettle with clean water and bring it to a boil. Pour the boiled water into a heat safe bowl or basin. Add your essential oils to the water. Take care when pouring the water or moving the bowl. If you boil the water in the microwave, make sure to place a wooden spoon, utensil, or chopstick into the water. This prevents the water from super-heating which can cause an explosion. Place the basin on a table so you can sit in a chair and lean over the steaming bowl. With your head over the basin, place the towel so that it's draped over the back of your head and completely over the bowl. This will prevent steam from escaping. Be careful not to lean too close to the hot water. Deeply breathe in the steam for 5 to 10 minutes, or as long as the steam lasts. If you need to, you can re-heat the water to get it steaming again. You can reuse the water until it boils dry, adding more essential oils only if you add more water. Since the steam opens your pores, you'll need to rinse your face with cold water when you've finished the steam facial. Cold water acts as an astringent which closes the pores. To further moisturize your skin, apply lotion as soon as you're done with the facial.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Prepare the water. Lean your face over the bowl or basin. Breathe in the steam. Rinse your face.

When you cut your bias binding for the project, make sure that you cut a little more than you will actually need to cover the edges. This will allow you to sew the edges together in a way that will hide the ends of the bias binding. For example, if your project calls for 20 inches (51 cm) of bias binding, then cut 21 inches (53 cm) to ensure that you will have enough to hide the ends. Make sure to sew the bias binding edges first. You need to sew the ends under the rest of the bias tape to hide them, so it is necessary to secure and fold over the ends before sewing any other parts of the binding. The ends of the bias binding will be raw, so it is important to hide these. With the right sides of the bias binding and fabric together, pinch the ends of the bias tape together to identify where they will meet. Use a piece of chalk to mark the areas where the right (front) sides of the bias binding meet. After you have marked the bias binding, place a pin on each end to hold the pieces together where you marked them. Make sure the pin goes through the ends of the bias tape and the fabric underneath it. To secure the bias binding together where you have marked it, use your sewing machine on the straight stitch setting to sew a few stitches into the crease up to the areas you have marked on each side of the bias binding. Do not sew across the bias binding pieces. Make two separate sets of stitches. Be careful not to sew through the pins and remove them as you sew. After the bias binding is secured at the ends, fold down the excess bias binding on the ends. Fold each end towards the rest of the bias binding and away from the stitches you just made. This will ensure that the bias binding will be hidden under the rest of your seams. After you finish securing the ends of the bias binding, sew the rest of the bias binding as desired for your project. You can either sew the bias binding single-sided, so that it will be hidden under one side of your project , or you can sew the bias binding double-sided so that half of the...

of every day. In order for your hair to stay soft and smooth, it needs the natural conditioning of sebum, the oil that your scalp produces to keep your hair strong. If you wash your hair every day, you rinse away this nourishing oil, leaving your strands feeling dry and coarse instead of smooth and silky.  Find the washing routine that’s right for you. Some people do it 2 or 3 times a week, while others wash every other day if their hair is especially oily. If your hair looks or feels greasy in between washed, apply dry shampoo to the roots. Massage it in to your scalp, then gently brush your hair to distribute the product. It might be hard to wash your hair in ice-cold water, but if you want silky, smooth hair, make it as chilly as you can take. Cold water helps the hair shaft lie flat, so when it dries it has a smooth, shiny appearance. Hot water has the opposite effect, creating frizz and drying out your hair. Sulfates are found in many cleansers, including dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, and more. Sulfates are effective and washing away oil and grease, but using this ingredient on your hair can be too harsh, causing frizz and damage to your hair. Look for sulfate-free shampoo that will cleanse your hair without stripping away its protective oils. Conditioner helps hair stay smooth and silky by moisturizing it and keeping it tangle-free. Look for a conditioner that will keep your hair smooth without weighing it down. Silicone-free conditioner is best, since silicones build up in your hair and cause it to look dull after a while. Opt for a product that has glycerin in it, instead. Trimming off the dry, coarse ends of your hair will keep it looking lighter, smoother, and softer. Aim to get regular trims to remove split or damaged ends. You don’t need to hack a ton of hair off each time, simply trimming 1 inch (2.5 cm) or so should do the trick. Cotton pillowcases can absorb moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and dull. Swap out your pillowcase for silk one, or wrap your tresses in a silk scarf...

TL;DR in English: a few times a week instead of every day. Use cold water when you wash and rinse your hair. Use sulfate-free shampoo. Opt for a moisturizing conditioner. Trim your tresses every 6-12 weeks. Sleep on a silk pillowcase or use a silk scarf at night.

For the index card, you'll need to fold it hotdog style, or longways. From the folded edge, make two initial incisions on the left and right sides. Leave a little bit less than an inch for the index card's strips. Starting from one of the slits, cut parallel to the folded edge.  You'll want to make the cut a little less than an inch down from the folded edge. Starting from the unfolded edge, cut upwards towards the rectangle you just removed.  Again, you'll want to space these slits a little under an inch. Now continue your cuts, alternating sides, until you reach the other end of the index card. Carefully unfold the paper.  This will feel like you're opening up an accordion.  You should be able to fit through the index card.

For this project, you may use any size frame you like. Flip the frame over and carefully take off the back. Take out everything from the frame except the glass. If your frame comes with a backing that fills the entire frame, you may skip this step. If not, you can create your own insert out of cardboard. Measure, mark, and cut a piece of cardboard that will fill the entire picture frame. You will cover this insert (or the original backing) with fabric or wrapping paper. If you are using fabric, run a warm iron over the material. This will remove any wrinkles and creases. Cut a piece of fabric or wrapping paper so that each side is 2 inches (5.08 cm) longer than the corresponding dimensions of the backing. Place the fabric or wrapping paper wrong side up on a flat surface. Position the cardboard insert or original backing in the center. Fold the extra material over the insert/backing and attach it to the back with tape. Place the backing/insert in the frame and close the frame. Hang your memo board on a wall or place it on the table. Write your first memo with a dry erase marker.
